Chapter 251 The Elders' Council of Winter Country, Final Decision
The hooked-nosed officer said in a low voice, "We will report to our superiors and retreat immediately."
He was even more worried that Qin Xuan would kill all the people present in order to silence them.
Judging from the strength of this person who completely crushed the ice giant, it was a breeze to kill everyone present without leaving any traces.
Qin Xuan glanced at him, saw his movements, and knew his thoughts.
"You follow orders, and I won't embarrass you."
"Let's go back."
Qin Xuan waved his hand, rose up against the wind in an instant, and continued to drive the shuttle to the north.
Watching him leave, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
Qin Xuan's sense of oppression was too strong.
A pillar of fire exploded the Ice Giant's innate spells, and instantly killed a fourth-order late-stage practitioner with one finger.
They felt that just standing there, Qin Xuan's aura was enough to make them kneel down.
The soldiers came to the two officers one after another.
"Sir, what... what should I do?"
The bearded officer and the hooked-nosed officer looked at each other and said helplessly, "Report to your superiors, this matter is beyond our control."
Soon, this news spread to the capital of Winter Kingdom, Dongdu.
And it was presented to the table of the Senate.
The Council of Elders consists of seven elders.
Each senator controls a regiment of the Arctic Army.
Every elder is loyal to the Winter Emperor and appointed by the Winter Emperor himself.
However, the current seven elders were all appointed by the old Winter Emperor, and the new Winter Emperor only replaced one elder in order to stabilize his position.
Of the seven veterans, four of them are out all the year round, leading troops in battle.
Of the remaining three elders, one of them often retreats to enter the fifth-order realm, which is Jingguo's stage of transforming into a god.
Therefore, only two elders saw the message.
The two looked at each other and frowned deeply.
The bald elder said in a low voice, "The ice giant is actually dead?"
Elder Gao Dayuan finished reading the document, and his heart thumped even more, "The person who killed him was Qin Xuan? Qin Xuan is so strong?"
The bearded and hooked-nosed officers did not cover up the facts, but reported them as they were.
Therefore, the ice giant took the lead, provoked Qin Xuan, and flattered and begged at the end, all of which were faithfully recorded and reported to the Council of Elders.
"This matter is very important, and it involves the royal family. I suggest discussing it with several other elders before making a decision." The bald elder said seriously.
"This matter needs to be looked at by the Winter Emperor." Elder Gao Dayuan said in a deep voice.
"Indeed." Both of them nodded.
A moment later, a teleconference was held in the magnificent conference hall of the Winter Palace.
Sitting in the first seat was a tall and strong young man.
He is dressed in luxurious robes and a crown on his head. He is the current Winter Emperor.
Different from King Jing's current mascot status, Emperor Dong is a powerful cultivator. He is now a cultivator at the beginning of the fourth rank, which is equivalent to a monk at the beginning of Nascent Soul in Jingguo.
Under the Winter Emperor, there are two elders, the bald elder and the tall elder.
On the table in front of them, there are two seat cards of "Third Elder" and "Seventh Elder".
On the opposite screen, there are two elders.
They are the fifth elder and the sixth elder respectively, and they are participating in the discussion through remote conferences.
The remaining three elders were busy with their affairs and could not attend the meeting, so they had to give up.
Before the Winter Emperor could speak, the Fifth Elder stood up and roared angrily across the screen, "Your Majesty the Winter Emperor, my Fifth Corps is ready to go! Please immediately order the troops to go south to start a full-scale war! Qin Xuan must be killed. Bring back the Winter Capital for trial!"
"How dare he hurt our country's practitioners! This will never be forgiven!"
The Winter Emperor lay lazily on the seat, and said casually, "My uncle, don't be so angry, isn't your son dead, why are you so furious?"
The strong man code-named Ice Giant is the son of the Fifth Elder.
The fifth elder is also the uncle of the Winter Emperor.
After the Winter Emperor finished speaking, the rest of the people looked strange.
That's his son, and also your cousin, you told him not to be so angry.
Is this a bit... embarrassing.
"Besides, that's not your Fifth Corps, it's from the Winter Country, it's from the Arctic Army." The Emperor Dong glanced at the Fifth Elder.
The fifth elder's complexion changed slightly, realizing that he was too angry and said the wrong thing.
The sixth elder coughed lightly, and immediately took up the conversation, "It's a bit extreme to send troops south to start a full-scale war. Qin Xuan alone can't represent Jingguo. Jingguo is now fragmented and composed of various sects."
"My suggestion is that we use thunderous means to capture Qin Xuan. As long as we are fast enough, those sects will not be able to react, and they will not unite and really start a war with our country."
The Seventh Elder categorically denied, "The Sixth Elder's understanding of Jingguo is too one-sided. Jingguo looks like a mess of sand, but in fact it has condensed into a solid hemp rope under Qin Xuan's command."
"If we want to launch an all-out war against Jingguo, Jingguo will definitely counterattack!"
"Besides, the actions of the ice giants are totally unreasonable. My suggestion is to pretend that you don't know about it and let it go."
The Fifth Elder was even more furious when he heard the words, wishing to rush out from the screen and beat the Seventh Elder violently, "You are treason! Your Majesty Winter Emperor, please remove him from the position of Elder!"
The Winter Emperor still did not express any opinions, but looked at the third elder who had not spoken.
The third elder scratched his bald head, "I am in favor of an all-out war..."
Before the fifth elder was happy, his backhand was a but.
"However, our country is not yet ready. Whether it is high-end strategic materials such as pills and talismans, or basic strategic materials such as food, they are not properly prepared."
The third elder glanced at the seventh elder, "What the seventh elder said is that it will damage the national dignity, and it is also not acceptable. After all, the ice giant is also a member of the royal family, and he is a late-stage fourth-order practitioner. He has consumed a huge amount of our country's resources."
"He died in vain, and we didn't respond, that's not okay."
Emperor Dong smiled, "Then what does the Sanyuan elder mean?"
The third elder said calmly, "We will not send troops, but we will condemn it. Let's just let it go."
The Fifth Elder was furious, "Let's just let it go?! Never..."
Donghuang made a final decision, "Just follow what the three elders said, and let it go."
After speaking, he was ready to get up and leave.
The Fifth Elder raised his voice, "Your Majesty the Winter Emperor, you must not..."
The Emperor Dong turned around and stared into his eyes, "Qin Xuan is a cultivator at the ninth level of the Nascent Soul, equivalent to a cultivator at the fourth level in our country."
"The same late fourth-order, but he can instantly kill your son."
"In addition, I have received a tip that the real giant whale who reached the half-step transformation back then has died under Qin Xuan's sword."
"So, tell me, how do you plan to catch Qin Xuan and judge him?"
What the Winter Emperor said left the Fifth Elder speechless.
"Fifth Corps, immediately withdraw to the Winter Capital, and any infiltration and attack plans against Jingguo will be stopped immediately, and no actions will be taken without my order." Donghuang said coldly.
The fifth elder gritted his teeth, "But my son..."
The Winter Emperor's eyes became even colder, "Dear Uncle, didn't you hear what I said?"
The Fifth Elder was silent for a long time, and finally squeezed out a word, "Yes..."
His screen shuts off immediately.
The meeting hall quickly fell silent.
